Yes this is a problem, but it's absolutely liberal propaganda. The entire bit they're doing is to claim Ukraine is somehow liberal while these territories are lgbt-phobic because they're out of Ukraine's control, this is absolutely fucking false. The fascists that control Ukraine are much, much worse.

Generally speaking eastern europe all has an lgbt problem. This is not really related to the separatism and the fascists as well as Europe are trying to abuse people's mistaken belief that Ukraine is politically similar to Europe to mislead people on these issues.
